Pre Kindergarten @ Beth El Synagogue Talmud Torah (BESTT)

Beth El Synagogue Talmud Torah (BESTT) is pleased to welcome your 4 year old to our Pre-Kindergarten class for 2009-2010. We’re very excited that for the second year, the class this year will also be open to the children of all families in the Omaha Jewish community who have not yet joined a congregation. If you know of an eligible four year old, please contact the BESTT office at 498-0904 or at eddir@bethel-omaha.org so that he/she may also join the class. This Pre-K class is designed for children who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2009.

The class meets two to three times per month on Sunday mornings at Beth El Synagogue from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and is taught by Annie Rifkin.

Annie will introduce this youngest class at BESTT to Jewish values, holidays, and Jewish vocabulary in a fun and loving environment. Students in Pre-K will also participate in BESTT’s music and art program.
